Government Relations Strategic Plan
Executive Summary
In a regulated profession such as engineering or geoscience, it is important to maintain a respectful and
productive relationship with the decision-makers in government. For Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba,
this means working with the Manitoba government to ensure that engineering and geoscience
professions and stakeholders are not adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations, and to
ensure that both are a key resource for the government to rely on for information and support within
the engineering and geoscience area of expertise.

The overarching goal of the Association’s government relations activity is the creation of a relationship
where government officials in all areas think “engineering and geoscience means Engineers
Geoscientists Manitoba”. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will be their first call as a reliable source of
information, a source of new policy ideas, and a partner in satisfying the consumer, working towards the
public good/safety. Creating this relationship requires the formation and execution of a Government
Relations Strategic Plan, a clear and thorough communications strategy, to further engagement of the
members with government, to connect with MLAs locally, and to take action through an active
Government Relations Committee. Positive interaction with government will allow Engineers
Geoscientists Manitoba to achieve its broader strategic goals and bolster communication and public
relations efforts.

Key resources in the implementation of the Government Relations Strategic Plan include Engineers
Geoscientists Manitoba President, CEO and Registrar, Director of Government Relations, Director of
Professional Standards, Director of Admissions, Association of Consulting Engineers Canada (ACEC), and
Association members at various levels.

All individuals taking part in the Government Relations strategy will be fully briefed through talking
points on relevant issues so that the Association speaks as one and conveys a clear message to the
government. Any questions can be directed to Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s Government
Relations Department, which will be monitoring and reporting on issues as well as developing effective
communication tools to ensure messaging is concise.

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba members will be kept informed through periodic contact and with
regular news pieces, such as E-News posts on the Association website and sent out in email, and articles
in the Association’s quarterly news publication, The Keystone Professional, detailing government activity
specifically affecting the engineering and geoscience professions and general political news.

Strategic Plan items for 2016-2017 include:

• Proposed Act Amendment Process

• Checking consistency with the Act, By-Laws, Policies and Procedures

• Association Policy Procedure and Systems for Legislation: Act, By-Laws, Guideline, Code of Ethics

• Recruitment and Retention - Environmental Scan within Association

• Recruitment and Retention - Environmental Scan beyond Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba

Page 6 of 16
Plan budget will be determined based on the information available and will be monitored on a monthly
basis.

Strategic Operational and Action Plans

The Strategic Plan will guide the formation of operational and action plans, designed to focus work and
to detail timelines and accomplishments. This will allow Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba to meet End
E-4 within the timeline set forth by the action plan. Changes to action plans will be updated weekly, and
reported in a Word document to CEO, along with accomplishments.

The action plans will inform Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba of the steps required to move through
the various Strategic Plan items in a smooth flow to ensure that everyone is moving forward together.

Strategic Plan Communication

Providing regular feedback to stakeholders, outlined in the strategic plan flow, involved in the creation
of the Strategic Plan will be key to ensuring the ongoing support for the priorities. Information for
members will be communicated via E-News updates available on the Association website and sent out
through email, and in articles featured in the Association’s quarterly news publication, The Keystone
Professional. When appropriate, updates will be communicated to the government and to other
stakeholders.

Government Relations at Ingenium and the Association’s Annual General Meeting

At the annual Ingenium conference, a Government Relations Strategic Plan Panel comprised of
government relations mentors, staff, and government officials, will present to attendees on a topic
timely to the Association’s Strategic Plan.

In future, this panel can expand into a larger round table discussion, with small table breakout sessions.
Ideas created through brainstorming could be brought back to the larger group and considered for
future implementation.

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will review the feasibility of adding an agenda item to the Annual
General Meeting to update the membership about the Association’s Government Relations progress.

Government Relations Strategic Plan – 2016 to 2017
Proposed Act Amendment Process
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will determine the feasibility of the next Act change. Any proposed
Act change will be identified in future Strategic Plans. Initial recommendations for this proposed Act
amendment include but are not limited to;

Act Amendment Task Group that has Council involvement, as a stakeholder, with Council
meeting updates, to ensure the representation of the public, membership and government is
best represented. The Act change directly impacts the Council’s ability to operate; therefore,
approval of the legislative Act amendments must be discussed, reviewed and approved by
Council’s authority. The government prefers to see that the board of an association voted on the
finalized legislation that is presented to them for introduction into the legislative assembly
process. The Act Amendment Task Group would be a CEO Task Group, following the Carver
Governance Model. Emphasis would be placed on a stakeholder analysis with thorough
discussions with the identified stakeholders. The Director of Professional Standards, Director of
Government Relations and Director of Admissions will be the key staff advisors to the Act
Amendment Task Group providing documentation, support and background from the
administrative standpoint.

In order to ensure the consistency in legislation changes for the Act, sub task groups will be
created to participate in the stakeholder analysis. These sub task groups could include:

o Legislations Task Group

o By Law Task Group

o Policy Task Group

o Staff Task Group

o Past President Stakeholder Group

The Act Amendment Task Group will prepare directives for the sub task groups to undertake.

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba Act, By-Laws, Policies and Procedures

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba follows a Policy Governance model to ensure that the mandate of a
self-regulated profession protects the public. As a self-regulated profession, it is imperative to ensure
that proper governance through the creation of organizational Ends, By-Laws, policies, and procedures
occurs. Established by the Council in accordance with The Engineering and Geoscientific Professions Act,
polices must reflect a healthy culture with government. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will
demonstrate a non-partisan approach for guiding all government relations efforts.

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba Policy Procedure and Systems for Legislation: Act, By-Laws, Guidelines,
Code of Ethics
The Provincial Government reviews The Engineering and Geoscientific Professions Act approximately
once every three years to ensure that the Act reflects the well-being of the people and any legislation
changes implemented during the annual sessions. Changes to the Act are crossed-referenced with other

Page 8 of 16
existing Acts, such as The Architects Act, Fair Registrations Practices Act and other acts to ensure that
legislation does not conflict.

Manitoba’s Members of the Legislative Assembly review and create legislation to reflect society’s needs.
The process of creating and passing Bill 21 in 2015 to amend The Engineering and Geoscientific
Professions Act gave the Association the opportunity to strengthen its relationship with MLAs.

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will create policies, procedures and systems for collaborating and
proposing Act changes to the government. The policies, procedures and systems will be followed by
Council and Staff.

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will create a process to propose Act amendments in a shorter cycle.
One step of this process will be to reach out to the Director of Government Relations for Act change
requests. The Director of Government Relations will provide incoming information to a legislation
committee for consideration.

A Stakeholder Analysis will be created to draw input from the various stakeholders for any required
changes to the Act. Amendments that were suggested but not included in Bill 21 will be reviewed to
determine if they can be put into the next Act change proposal.

Recruitment and Retention - Environmental Scan within Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will conduct an environmental scan of existing initiatives within the
Association related to recruitment and retention, including but not limited to the activities and
initiatives of the Indigenous Professionals Initiative Committee, Committee for Increasing the
Participation of Women in Engineering, Public Awareness Committee, and the Engineers Geoscientists
Manitoba Chapters.

Based on the environmental scan, a summary document will be drafted outlining the activities,
motivations and objectives of individual committees’ and groups, within a larger framework of
recruitment and retention in the professions. Information and conclusions drawn from the
environmental scan will be reported to Council, Geoscientists Canada, Engineers Canada, government
and to other stakeholders impacted.

Recruitment and Retention - Environmental Scan beyond Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will conduct an environmental scan of recruitment and retention
initiatives in other Associations. The Association of Consulting Engineering Companies (ACEC) of
Manitoba, Colleague of Registered Nurses of Manitoba, and Chartered Professional Accountants of
Manitoba are examples of some of the organizations that could be examined.

Research may include office culture and job factors that invite work place diversity. Findings will be used
to determine how welcoming engineering and geoscience professions are to diversity in the workplace.

Government Relations Advisory Committee

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s Government Relations Department will create a Government
Relations Advisory Committee, a group of non-partisan volunteer engineers and geoscientists, to engage
with advocacy issues for Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba. The Association can be a facilitator of
information that can be pertinent to government’s efforts.

Page 9 of 16
Government Information Sessions

This committee is responsible for the ground outreach program to the Members of Parliament in the
Canadian government. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will work to obtain a seat on this committee to
be a liaison, provide the information and implement a similar program within Manitoba and by doing so,
assist with the collaboration of Members of Parliament. Participating in this program, Engineers
Geoscientists Manitoba intends to synchronize key points of Provincial and Civic focus with Federal
government outreach programs.

Geoscientists Canada - Bridging Government and Geoscientists Committee

A committee similar to the Engineers Canada Bridging Government and Engineers committee could be
established with Geoscientists Canada to facilitate a ground outreach program to the Members of
Parliament in the Canadian government.

ACEC Government Relations Coordination

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s Government Relations Department will create a strategy to work
with ACEC in government relations so that our efforts are coordinated and effective. The topics of
procurement policy and qualification based selection will be brought forth to the governments
attention.

Government Officials - Outreach Program

The Association’s Government Relations Department will develop a comprehensive Government Official
Outreach Program to implement in 2017, which will include creating a manual and setting up training
sessions for Association members. The intent would be to bring together a group of members from to
engage with various levels of government to help accomplish goals outlined in the Strategic Plan.

Engineers Canada - Public Affairs Committee

A seat could be obtained by an Association member for Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba on Engineers
Canada’s Public Affairs Committee. This committee is tasked with the development of National Position
Statements for Engineers Canada. Our Association has a voice on this committee to discuss the issues
that Manitoban’s might have on a National level. Collaboration with Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s

Page 10 of 16
Public Interest Review Committee will take place to gather information to present back to Engineers
Canada Public Affairs Committee.

Geoscientists Canada - Public Affairs Committee

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will reach out to Geoscientists Canada to become a part of a Public
Affairs Committee similar in nature to that joined with Engineers Canada, or will help to establish such a
Committee. The Association will work hard to represent Geoscientists in Manitoba on a National level in
partnership with Geoscientists Canada.

Government Officials – Association Events

There will be an ongoing effort to invite government officials to the various events that Engineers
Geoscientists Manitoba hosts throughout the year.

Annual MLA Reception

So far two MLA receptions have been held in 2015 and 2016. Hosting an event for the MLAs and
government officials allows Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba to connect with government officials to
discuss various issues and build relationships. Future events will be open to members, with a required
information session for any member attending, along with review and signing of documentation on
conduct of behavior when participating at the event.

The intent of this event is to allow a safe environment for Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba members
and Government Officials to share healthy conversations for the purpose to get to know one another.
We want to make political friends. It will be from these contacts that Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba
will engage with the government officials at a future time to sit down and discuss the required areas
that government will need the advice and services of engineers/geoscientists to execute their platform.

This event is a non-partisan, non-agenda event to ensure the relationships are built for future meetings
with government officials.

Annual Manitoba Legislative Throne Speech

The annual throne speech is held by government every November to kick off the next session. Seats are
by invite only from the MLAs and are limited in number. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will show
support for the government officials by attending.

Association Collaboration across Canada in Government Relations

Consistency across the country is essential. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s will communicate openly
to ensure geoscience and engineering provincial and territorial regulator bodies are all on the same
page. A proposed committee comprised of one member of each engineering and geoscientist
association across Canada to discuss the government relations issues on a monthly basis.

University Funding
The University of Manitoba Faculty of Engineering and Department of Geological Sciences are both in
need of additional funding to hire more staff and to expand their facilities to accommodate increased
engineering and geoscience student spacing respectively. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will reach
out to work with the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Geological Sciences at the University
of Manitoba to put forth action plans for funding from the government.

Government Relations Strategic Plan – 2018
Mobility in Western Canada
We need to spearhead a task group to review the Code of Conducts of the four western provinces along
with the three territories to determine the similarities and differences between the codes for the
purpose of bringing together a harmonious Western Canada Code of Conduct. Synchronize the
registration, Continued Professional Development (CPD), and dues for Western Canada to allow for the
labor mobility act.

International trade agreements need to be tied to the Labor Mobility Act of engineers and geoscientists
across Canada. If international companies bid on jobs throughout Canada but engineers and
geoscientists are unable to be certified in the province due to Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba
requirements, then it could cause a challenge with international trade agreements. Working with the
levels of government on international trade agreements as trusted advisors will ensure the Labor
Mobility Act is synchronized with the international trade requirements.

Government hiring of engineers

Government struggles with hiring of engineers due to the competitive market and salary requirements
or pay scale of engineers. We will work with the government to determine potential solutions for
fulfilling the engineering needs of the government.

Indigenous Work Placement

Determine the feasibility of implementing a work placement in engineering or geoscience fields for
Indigenous high school students allowing firsthand experience to help shape their opinion for future
employment.

Projects affecting Indigenous communities.

Expert Witness and Bills for the levels of Government

Use Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba members’ wide scope of expertise in the government. In each
legislative session, bills are introduced into the Legislative Assembly with the intent to be implemented
into law. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba members have a wide scope of expertise and knowledge
that could prove to be useful for the government when developing and introducing these bills into the
Legislative Assembly.

We can determine any Association members with expertise in these areas and recommend them to the
government officials as advisors. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba can create a list of members who
specialize in particular portfolios relevant to government and are approved volunteers to meet with
government officials to discuss these areas.

Potential portfolios to advice on:

• Infrastructure and Transportation

• Jobs and Economy

• Health Care

the purpose of giving technical advice to the government officials on a varying degree of topics within
that department. These sessions would help foster ideas and share intelligence to advance society.

Liaison between Political Parties

The government’s ability to cooperate on issues can at times be difficult, therefore, when referring to
areas of expertise or scope of practice under the engineers or geoscientists, Engineers Geoscientists
Manitoba would act as a non-partisan liaison to ensure that information and ideas flow easily between
the political parties and government officials to bring forth the highest level of policy for the public.

Engineers-Geoscientists University Government Relations Program

Develop a program for engineer and geoscience students to engage in government relations activities.
Commence at the University Level with the collaboration of the student associations to develop
government relations strategic plans, operational plans and action plans to create the culture of
government relations at the beginning of their education and careers to ensure the sustainability of
government outreach by the industry.

Government Election – Change in Government Officials

Create a process for Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba to follow when an election takes place. Outline
the involvement the Association can have going into an election, the information to provide to members
for an election, and the outreach required upon completion of an election. Create policies for Council
and Staff on the involvement in elections to ensure the Association removes itself from any influence
and partisanship.

Training on Parliamentary Procedures

Set up training for Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba Council, Committees, and staff on parliamentary
procedures, to strengthen meetings that take place throughout the year.

Government Relations Strategic Plan – 2019

Limitation of Actions – Act Changes
The Association will determine the feasibility of submitting a legislation change for the limitations of
action for engineer’s liability by engaging with the various government officials and ACEC. As has been
brought to the Association’s attention on a number of occasions, it is felt that the insurance
requirements for projects is currently too high.

Government – Association Expert Sessions

Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s Government Relations Department will organize government
information sessions in partnership with expert professional engineers and geoscientists. Members will
be invited to meetings and discussions with government officials to lend insight on issues involving their
area of expertise.

Annual MLA Awards Event

others, the possibility of establishing an annual MLA Award to recognize the demonstrated willingness
to incorporate geoscience and engineering into government decision-making processes for the benefit
of the public.

Internationally Educated Engineers

The shortage of engineers and geoscientists due to retirement over the next decade will require both an
increase of engineering and geoscience graduates along with internationally educated engineers and
geoscientists in Manitoba. Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba will work towards helping to increase the
number of local and internationally educated engineering and geoscience graduates entering into the
Manitoba economy.

Government Relations Strategic Plan – 2020 and Beyond

Manitoba Association of Government Engineers
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba’s Government Relations Department will determine if the Manitoba
Association of Government Engineers will be challenged with Advocacy of Engineers Geoscientists
Manitoba.

Immigration Application
Engineers Geoscientists Manitoba, along with Engineers Canada and Geoscientists Canada can
encourage Manitoba and Canada to have an optional check box on immigration application forms for
applying individuals to have the option to declare whether they are educated as an engineer or
geoscientist from their country or want to become an engineer or geoscientist in Manitoba, so that the
he or she receives the correct information before they arrive.
